Unlicensed Nurse Arrested and Charged


A Bonita Springs woman reported that someone had charged more than $1,500 on two stolen credit cards in September 2007.

Deputies believe that Debra Archer Hauenstein, 49, of 620 3rd St. N.W., used the cards when she cared for the woman while working as a Registered Nurse for At Home Health Care, 5270 Golden Gate Parkway.

Investigators also learned that Hauenstein was working with a suspended nursing license at the time. She was also hired as Registered Nurse at Caring for Women, 201 8th St. South and Advanced Pain Management Specialists in Fort Myers.

A warrant was issued Tuesday morning and Hauenstein was charged with scheming to defraud.
